While I can understand his syntax, I fail to understand the substance of that sentence. Now I’m curious how wealth can be utilized in a manner that pertains to African-Americans.

I think he is basically saying “I think that black people are bad. I also think that some billionaires are bad, but it’s #notallbillionaires . The innate badness that black people have and the bad billionaires have are the same, so I am going to call the bad billionaires black”. In other words, racist bullshit

His “exceptions” are clearly the guy who can’t get through a press conference without rolling on molly (and has dozens of illegitimate children,) the guy who talks with a vocal fry and practices “concerned face” in the mirror because he thinks it fools people into thinking he isn’t Patrick Bateman, and the guy who injects the blood of young people and gets stumped when the interviewer asks him if the human race should survive.

So guy 1 is Musk, and guy 3 is Thiel, but who is guy 2?

N*gga rich is a term used by rappers, and some racists like Curtis, to mean getting a small fortune and spending it on flashy ostentatious things.

Oh you mean “new-rich”?

I don’t think that’s a neologism. It’s just the adjective to ‘negro’.
Basically he thinks billionaires are ‘behaving black’.
pyre@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
no, it’s not even a word. that wouldn’t even be the adjective to that word.

that wouldn’t even be the adjective to that word.
You are right there though. I’m not a native English speaker and thought that would be it. (Sounds like if I’d try to build that adjective in my native language though).
pyre@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
that’s not the word I’m talking about. I’m saying the supposed adjective is not a word.

A n*gger is a race neutral term nowadays
no. no it’s not. people know its origins and who it’s referring to. to deny this is a form of sealioning. fqck off with that
It essentially means someone that takes far more than they will ever contribute, and in that respect, he’s absolutely correct
attaching this meaning to it is a form of dog whistle to get people to associate these traits with plack people. you are doing the propaganda work of white supremacy right now.

supremaCISM
“White supremacy” is what they think is the case. “White supremacism” is what they practice by thinking it.
Sorry for pedantry but this is one of those things that drives me nuts, similar to “my grandpa is on Facebook with all his conspiracies”. NO. A conspiracy is real. A conspiracy THEORY is when a bunch of idiots think there’s a conspiracy.

Epstein cover up: Conspiracy - there’s a coordinated and documented effort to stop the information from being revealed to the public
Moon landing doubt: Conspiracy Theory - there’s no evidence of a coordinated suppression of information

Mine is the word entitlement vs false sense of entitlement.
Me: “You are entitled to your social security money.”
Other guy: “I’m not ficking entitled, that money is mine and I want it back.”
Lol

Dunno, I once got told that you can use the word if you’re black, LOL =\
And if I’d use it to address a bunch of friends whose ancestors weren’t slaves and who are not black, I think this wouldn’t be an insult. If there’s a black person nearby, I won’t risk it having a different effect though.
LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Using that word in the way you describe makes you racist and a white supremacist. There are many other words you can call your “friends.”
School_Lunch@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I don’t know what racist town you’re from, but that is not reality no matter how much racists wish it was. As for a name for people who take more than anyone could ever deserve, we simply call them billionaires.

Woof, you realize that the episode of South Park you morons use to justify this “change in meaning” was satire, and was not meant to be a guide for how to use cognitive dissonance to change words’ meanings to your own liking.

Lmao this chode is really over here trying to ignore all of the cultural context and redefine the n-word, to be able to use it without getting punched in the mouth.

It’s good to lurk and keep an eye on extremist spaces imho. Not good for the mental health, but helpful in intervening/deradicalizing teenagers following down those rabbit holes. Good to also prep counters and debunks to narratives before they take hold.
